Market:: Line/Handicap
Tip:: Kansas City +1.5 @ 1.71 (bet365)
Tip Result:: Loss

The 32-33 Kansas City Royals have been on a charge in June, going 9-1 in their last 10 and 4-2 in their last 6 on the road. They are also 5-1 in their last 6 against Tampa Bay. Starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie has a 3.60 ERA and a 7-3 W/L record for the season. Kansas City have won in his last 3 starts, giving up a combined 5 runs in the process. The Kansas City bullpen has been excellent during their 9-1 stretch, with a combined ERA well below 1.0.

The 35-32 Tampa Bay Rays are 1-5 in their last 6 games and 1-5 in their last 6 at home. Starting pitcher Alex Cobb has had a good season so far, with a 2.95 ERA and 6-2 W/L record, however he got roughed up in his last outing, giving up 7 hits and 6 earned runs in four innings. He played Kansas City once in 2012 and once in 2011 and in both games he was on the losing side, giving up 10 hits for 4 earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in 2012 and 13 hits for 8 earned runs over 8 innings in 2011.

A number of losses for Kansas City have been by a solitary run this season which is why I like the +1.5 line bet. If you want to be more aggressive you might prefer the 2.52 money line odds as the Royals are a respectable 17-19 as the underdog this season.
